A meaningless action that basically means that the individual has no intention of resolving an issue but wants to put forward the impression that it is being dealt with
At Prime Ministers "Question Time" when challenged on the award of pension to Sir Fred Goodwin, Gordon Brown replied "don't worry, I'm putting a call out"

Sarcastic reference to one poster on a message board grandstanding and offering to fight another poster in real life. Harkens back to bad high school days.
Dude 1: You don't like my political views? I'm going to drive up there and kick your ass!
Dude 2: Oh yeah, he totally called him out.
Dude3: Will he do this before or after home ec?

3. Eaten
4. Shitted Out
5. Eaten again
6. Puked

A form of verbal abuse with the intention to make the victim feel guilty. Like getting raped but it's actually justified you deserved it 100%. Worse is the dilemma you get put into between dismissing it and making yourself look worse than before or giving in to their twisted perception and making yourself look weak-minded. The worst verbal abuse in existence. Bar none.
A: I did a harmless thing only to get a call-out on it for being "rude". Not only that, when I objected, even more people started calling me out on it and made me feel guilty over nothing. It felt far more burdensome than when some random stranger called me a racial slur. Because it's not like I deserved that.

Hey why don't you do that to the people who use "small dick" as a pejorative? I've never seen a video doing what you just did there regarding "small dick" you know that right? Have you seen the videos I've seen and made an entire ass response video and posted it to the internet? I know 1 guy who did. And it wasn't you. How is it that when I shame a whore for thinking a retard is better than me, I'm the asshole but when YOU shame me for thinking I'm better than a retard you're not an asshole? And thus you've given yourself license to think you're better than me. AND you've LIKELY extended that to the retard. Am I allowed to think I'm better than a Nazi? If you're a determinist than the Nazi couldn't have done otherwise, literally. Do YOU have to DEFEND Nazi now? Who am I to think I'm better than a Nazi (And YOU KNOW DAMN WELL that I'm not comparing retards to Nazi you fucking idiot I KNOW that THAT EXACT THOUGHT was caressing the folds of that FUCKING shit-brain of yours so don't even try to utter it you pig)? They couldn't have done otherwise! Are you the arbiter now of who people get to think they're better than? Who am I allowed to be better than, to you? Midwestern garbage-can bitch is the decider of who I get to be better than now I guess. Ok. It seems real fair what you're doing there. She's the decider now guys! Look-look! The decider is upon us once more! It's been decided. The retard is allowed to be better than me but I'm not allowed to be better than retard.
Hym "Not to call out your call out but 'Calling Christians mentally ill is an insult to the mentally ill' doesn't sound as good as you might think... There is an inconsistency in his need for care that I refuse to validate with my tolerance. And you're all fucking nutjobs. Dealing with you (at all levels of magnitude) is literally 95% of the shit I have to deal with. Some of you are dope. Like Team 4 star. But you? I don't know about you. Some of you are very-very lame."
